UK retailers can now benefit from improved access to the international carriage market thanks to a partnership between Route Genie, the advanced carrier management software developed by iForce, and Norsk Global, the international and European express delivery services specialist. This latest agreement will allow retailers deploying the Route Genie platform to utilise Norsk Global’s shipping solutions to expand their footprint overseas as well as in the UK.

As a parcel consolidator, Norsk Global is able to provide a diverse range of International eCommerce delivery services, all designed to offer customers flexibility and cost efficient options. The company has an extensive network of routes and partners with the capability to offer comprehensive delivery options worldwide. As part of this latest agreement, Norsk Global’s portfolio of delivery solutions will be fully integrated within the Route Genie platform, allowing retailers of any size to quickly choose the most suitable service available by destination country.

A number of retailers are already using Route Genie to cost effectively route their parcel allocation to carriers as well as for the provision of visibility and control over their carrier performance. The platform is integrated with each of the leading domestic and international industry carriers, with Norsk Global being the latest addition.

Simon Adams, Head of Supply Chain at Norsk Global, said: “Our flagship USA direct eCommerce service can offer standard and express tracked delivery across the whole of the USA using the USPS delivery network. With our Premium services, we can get parcels to all major cities in Europe by the next day, whilst we are also able to offer a whole host of cost effective eCommerce delivery options when speed isn’t imperative. Many retailers are choosing to deploy the Route Genie software because of its high functionality and flexible licensing, and we are delighted to have our delivery solutions integrated within the platform.”

Richard Tucker, Head of Sales, iForce Group and Route Genie, said: “Norsk Global has demonstrated over 24 years that it is an industry leader in the express sector. We are delighted to secure this partnership, which will provide Route Genie’s customers with even more effective options when looking to send parcels overseas or within their UK market.”
